I like that they got rid of the rubber straps on the frame holding all the wires. Sure makes the bike look cleaner.

Anyone know how to do that on an S4R?

Use rubber straps that match the frame color? Cut them off then find some way (Zip ties maybe?) to hold them together?

That bike is way cool, although I have been told that the motor from the 999s cost twice as much to work on?

I think that would be the new 999R motor. You have to pull the heads to adjust the valves.
